The western part of the city is often home to the poorer residents. Here there is a grunginess that permeates the town from the graffiti on the once cleaned brick buildings to the broken and unmaintained architecture. Crime runs high within the western half of town, making it the home of supernatural gangs of illicit activities. Such activities are rarely reported, however, and most residents are distrustful of individual's of authorities, and often let the powerful supernatural beings sort things out amongst themselves. Be careful wandering the Western streets after the sun falls.

Just like any city - Sacrosanct is not without it's deep, dark underbelly. Hidden in the graffiti-ridden streets of the West, behind closed warehouse doors, lies the Black Market. Forever moving, it's nearly impossible to find without knowing someone who knows someone. Anything you desire can be brought for a hefty price within the Black Market - be it drugs, weapons, or lives.
Hidden within the dark alleyways of the Western Ward, Cull & Pistol is a dim, often smoky bar. With a small variety of bottled and craft beers, Cull & Pistol is a quaint little neighborhood joint. With its no-frills moto, the dingy bar offers little more than liquor, music from an old jukebox, and a few frequently occupied pool tables.
Bartender Raylin Chike
Resting upon the harbor, Noah's Ark (known simply as The Ark) is a sleek superyacht known both for its fight rings and recent...renovations, of sorts. Accessible from an entrance hidden in the shadows, The Ark is a veritable Were-playground that specializes in fighting tournaments for all creatures great and small. With both singles and doubles tournaments to compete in, the title of Ark Champion is hotly contested amongst the Were population. If anything illegal is going on in the city it's sure to be happening within the back rooms or behind the ring-side bar.
Note: This is a Were only establishment. All other species will be swiftly escorted out.

Within the turbulent industrial district lies this club. The warehouse doesn't look like much on the outside but it provides a memorable experience from the state of the art lighting, offbeat Victorian-inspired artwork, comfortable black leather lounges, and the infamous 'black light' room. There is a wide variety of alcohol that lines the shelves of both of the magical and ordinary variety. It is a common stomping ground for the supernatural who want to let loose and dance the night away to the music that floods the establishment. Humans are most welcome if they dare.

Tetradore could feel the weight of the bear shift to accompany his weight, clearly attempting to get to his own figure. He could feel the bear drop onto all four feet but his balance remained, his grip steadfast upon the bear as he let his venom work through fur, flesh, and eventually muscle. He heard the bellowing roar that echoed loudly within the confined place as the bear launched himself forward, paying little heed to the golden coins and trinkets that fall from their various perches. Tetradore's claws scramble to dig themselves in deeper into the bear's hide, his teeth working vigorously at the bear's thick hide. He knew all too well what prolonged exposure to his venom could do. He had seen the tissue turn that grotesque shade of purple black. He had watched tissue die and know that it's soul cause was him. He could only hope that his ability to be able to pierce deep enough before the bear threw him from his back. He didn't need long but in moments like this, minutes seemed more comparable to hours. His emerald eyes glanced up at the approaching wall, his body attempting to shift ever so slightly, maintaing his balance and his grasp while making some effort to maneuver out of the bear's war zone.
He felt the slam of the creature against the wall, his own body mere inches from the general impact zone and yet the sheer force shook even the creature that did it. He didn't hesitate, however, his teeth finding new perch upon another area, the first already becoming soaked in the acidic saliva that sizzled and hissed even at the creature's flesh. The second impact jarred the panther, his claws loosing grip sending him sliding downwards ever so slightly before again they punctured the animal's spine. He could hear the creature's roar of pain just as he felt the creature rear up, swiping backwards with his claw that collided into Tetradore's side. A gruff left his mouth but he didn't dare to let go, willing to take whatever damage the weakened bear could do. Fortunately for him, the joint attack by his Beta saw the bear began to tumble, and, much to Tetradore's disappointment, the creature seemed to be falling backwards upon him.
The ebony feline vaulted away with surprising ease, using his position upon the bear to push himself further out of the bear's path, his body shifting and twirling in mid-air in a typically feline fashion to ensure he landed ever just so upon his padded feet. He pivoted, his emerald eyes watching as the bear crashed to the floor just as he felt the probing mental connection of his spotted companion diligently seeking his presence. Gently the man reached through their connection, his mind wordlessly brushing against Tobias if only to reassure the boy that he was here, alive and relatively unharmed despite the bear's best efforts. Slowly he stalk's closer towards his downed prey, his emerald eyes roving over the fallen figure that heaved his last few breaths. Briefly his attention fluttered towards his companion as the Leopard stood over the bloodied bear, watching as the boy lifted his head to give Tetradore access to the vulnerable jugular. Tetradore stepped closer to the exposed throat, his mouth parting to show the large sharp canines. His mouth encompassed the bear's throat, getting a good grip if only for the bear's weakened state before he sharply pulled back, his mouth filling with blood and flesh as he tore open the creature's throat. He stood oven him, watching with frigid eyes as the bear bled out before him, his animalistic instincts crying for him to enjoy the taste of their kill.
